QUOTABLE NOTABLES

Who said that?

Jack Benny, comedian and cheapskate extraordinaire, made his CBS television debut 56 years ago today. During its 14-year run, the brightest stars visited The Jack Benny Program. (Names you'll recognize: Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart.) To commemorate the first episode of Benny, play this round of Hollywood Who Said It. Here's how it works, baby.

Read each quote and match it to the person who said it. Your choices are Bogey, Blue Eyes and The Blonde Bombshell.

A. "The only point in making money is you can tell some big shot where to go."

B. "I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful."

C. "The only thing you owe the public is a good performance."

D. "I'm for anything that gets you through the night."

E. "Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent."

F. "You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi."

G. "Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul."

H. "I'm going to be a great movie star some day."

I. "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
